[Bug 1013883] Re: www::mechanize doesn't connect to some XHTML 1.1 sites using ssl

[Steffen Ullrich]

I  cannot reproduce the bug and from the description and reference so
perl RT bugs I would suggest, that is has nothing to do with
IO::Socket::SSL but is a problem caused with newer openssl versions
together with faulty F5 BIG-IP systems (see reference to openssl ticket
in perl RT bugreport).

BTW, it would be really helpful if you don't let such bugs sit for a
long time in launchpad but instead contact the author of the module.
This way you will get faster bugfixes and I get early feedback for
problems and can fix them.

such at CPAN)

Title:
  www::mechanize doesn't connect to some XHTML 1.1 sites using ssl

Status in libio-socket-ssl-perl  -  Perl SSL Sockets:
  Unknown
Status in “libio-socket-ssl-perl” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  www::mechanize doesn't allow you to connect to some websites over ssl,
  if they are in the xhtml 1.1 markup. Instead, it simply times out. I
  have attached a script demonstrating this. I am running quantal, and
  noticed my script started timing out and failing to connect after
  upgrading the libio-socket-ssl-perl package. Downgrading the package
  from 1.74 to the precise version of 1.53 fixes the issue and the
  attached script runs, connects to the site and prints the output
  properly.

  Here's the link to 1.53
  http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu//pool/main/libi/libio-socket-ssl-perl/libio-socket-ssl-perl_1.53-1_all.deb

  and 1.74
  http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu//pool/main/libi/libio-socket-ssl-perl/libio-socket-ssl-perl_1.74-1_all.deb

  You should be able to reproduce this on any debian based system (I
  think).
